Trip Summary

We started near Betanien hospital in upper Fyllingsdalen and walked upwards into Nordnæsdalen. A little north of the sports plain at Nordnæsdalen, we found the path to the right (east), which leads up to Olsokfjellet. Half way up, when leaving the trees behind, we enjoyed a few nice views towards the south and over Fyllingsdalen. From the top of Olsokfjellet, we connected to Damsgårdsfjellet. After crossing Damsgårdsfjellet southeast--northwest, we descended into Skaret (icy!) before continuing into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet from there (mostly westwards, first). Finding all the paths in the snow without any difficulties, we quickly connected to Gravdalsfjellet. At the top of Gravdalsfjellet, we again enjoyed some nice views! :-) Descending in southern direction from there, we soon arrived at Viggohytten (the new one!). We then took the paths from there back to the Betanien hospital. All in all, it was nice to get out into the snow and also see some sunlight in between. :-)
